Probably has more camera effect wankery that results in a near unwatchable film like Domino.

Maybe but then Scott has made some excellent films.

Yes! The "Man on Fire"-team again. Tony Scott, Denzel Washington and music by Harry Gregson-Williams. I love the camera style.

Didn't care for Man on Fire, waste of a great story.

But True Romance was cool, and so was Revenge, until the ending.

Domino made my eyes hurl.

Thankfully, it seems that Scott has learned his lesson and has kept the MTV nu-ass effects to a minimum.

I thought Deja Vu was a lot of fun and proves that Tony Scott can still make great films. But then I really like time travel movies. Obviously Denzel Washington is superb and it's nice to see Scott make a lighter film for a change. He handles the sci-fi thriller genre really well.

Deja Vu is good. Tony Scott is no Ridley Scott in talent though.
